Blackwell Agrees to Remove Social Security Numbers from Web Site

[LiberalHeart]

Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell agreed Monday to remove Social Security numbers from financial documents posted on his agency's Web site. In a hearing before US District Judge Michael Watson in Cincinnati, Blackwell also agreed to take steps to prevent the numbers from being posted there in the future, and to remove the numbers from any documents posted in the future.

1. Its a little late for that. The identity thieves have already had a

field day.

2. And he's breaking state law by removing the numbers...

Doesn't look like the law has been changed yet, and it requires him to post the documents.

I wonder what it'll cost to go through the more than million docs already posted and pull out those numbers. They're on what look like scans of documents.

3. Hey, If he breaks the law, can he be govenor?

or will they just change the law to say it wasn't really the law now that Blackwell broke it?

4. Federal law trumps state law
